BLACK CUMIN

Black seed is becoming increasingly popular among gardeners for its health benefits and beautiful flowers. With a little patience and care, the buttercup plant can also grow here.
In order for the black cumin to grow optimally, it needs a sunny and warm location. The soil should be well drained and aerated to avoid waterlogging. The soil should also be slightly alkaline to neutral (pH around 7).
Black cumin can be sown outdoors from March to April at a depth of about 1 to 2 cm. The roots spread laterally, which is why a distance of about 20 cm between the seeds is recommended. After 21 days the seed should then germinate. You shouldn’t water too much. Black cumin survives short-term drought quite well.
The black seeds can be harvested from the beginning of September. The seeds should then be black-brown in colour. Due to the residual moisture in the seeds, they have to dry for a few days after harvesting.
